\nPortion of Septuagint Rendering of Amos 2<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n

The Church of Rome<\/a> considers March 31st to be a memorial day for the Hebrew Prophet Amos (the Eastern Orthodox<\/a> use June 14th).<\/p>\n

Here is some information about him from Wikipedia<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Amos, an older contemporary of Hosea and Isaiah,[1] was active c. 750 BC during the reign of Jeroboam II,[1] (786\u2013746 BC) making the Book of Amos the first biblical prophetic book written. Amos lived in the kingdom of Judah but preached in the northern kingdom of Israel. (Book of Amos. viewed 02\/22\/2014)<\/p>\n

Before becoming a prophet, Amos was a sheep herder and a sycamore fig farmer. Amos’ prior professions and his claim “I am not a prophet nor a son of a prophet” (7:14) indicate that Amos was not from the school of prophets, which Amos claims makes him a true prophet (7:14). His prophetic career began in 750 BCE out of the town of Tekoa, in Judah, south of Jerusalem. (Amos the Prophet, viewed 02\/22\/2014)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is interesting that he had to tell people that one becomes a true prophet<\/a> in a manner that most did not expect. The Apostle Paul<\/a> attempted to defend his apostleship that type of way (2 Corinthians 11:5, 22-29)–and that was to people who were supposedly in the Church of God.<\/p>\n

One of the messages that Amos proclaimed is that the time would come when people would not be able to find the words of God:<\/p>\n

11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
\n“That I will send a famine on the land,
\nNot a famine of bread,
\nNor a thirst for water,
\nBut of hearing the words of the Lord.
\n12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
\nAnd from north to east;
\nThey shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
\nBut shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have long believed that the above warning is a reference to a coming internet censorship. We have seen a lot of it since I first posted about it. Related to this writer (who is also a published scientist), in the past year Vimeo pulled our video: COVID-19 Leading to 666?<\/a> and Facebook pulled a post similar to the following:\u00a0COVID interview: Dr. Fauci takes isolated vitamin D and synthetic vitamin C<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Censorship looks to intensify just before the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), also called the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). Perhaps under the guise of “neutrality,” perhaps under the guise of “The Patriot Act,” perhaps under the guise of “public welfare,” perhaps because of alleged \u201cintolerance,\u201d calling parts of the COG message \u201chate speech\u201d (which at least one associated with the Biden-Harris Administration has already basically said) and\/or national security threats\/issues, something will be done to stop perhaps all of the organized media efforts to proclaim biblical truths. A short work will be done (Romans 9:27-28; see also Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word<\/a>), which will trigger the end (Matthew 24:14), and likely then the famine of the word (Amos 8:11-12).<\/p>\n

I believe that the government of the USA will be at least complicit with causing aspects of the truth of the Bible and its prophecies to be removed from at least parts of the internet.<\/p>\n

While I often quote just the 11th and 12th verses of Amos 8, consider the two verses that follow.<\/p>\n

13 \u201cIn that day the fair virgins
\nAnd strong young men
\nShall faint from thirst.
\n14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria,
\nWho say,
\n\u2018As your god lives, O Dan!\u2019
\nAnd, \u2018As the way of Beersheba lives!\u2019
\nThey shall fall and never rise again.\u201d\u00a0 (Amos 8:11-14)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Verse 14 mentions Samaria. Samaria is a prophetic reference to the USA\u2013for details on that, check out the article: Spiritual Samaritans: Old and New<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reference to those who say the god of Dan lives is a reference to false religion (cf. Judges 18)\u2013and the old WCG speculated that the idolatry of Dan was why it was NOT listed among the 144,000 in Revelation 7:4-8.<\/p>\n

The false religion of promoting the LGBTQ agenda and other sins will not end well for the USA (cf. Romans 1:18-32).<\/p>\n

And yes, the USA as we know it will fall and never rise again.<\/p>\n

Amos had many messages, some that are particularly applicable now include the following:<\/p>\n

9 ‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; See great tumults in her midst, And the oppressed within her. 10 For they do not know to do right, ‘Says the Lord, ‘Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.'” 11 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “An adversary shall be all around the land; He shall sap your strength from you, And your palaces shall be plundered.” 12 Thus says the Lord: “As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lion Two legs or a piece of an ear, So shall the children of Israel be taken out Who dwell in Samaria \u2014 In the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch! 13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”Says the Lord God, the God of hosts, 14 ‘That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will also visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; And the horns of the altar shall be cut off And fall to the ground. (Amos 3:9-14)<\/p>\n

1 Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, And trust in Mount Samaria, Notable persons in the chief nation, To whom the house of Israel comes! 2 Go over to Calneh and see; And from there go to Hamath the great; Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory? 3 Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, Who cause the seat of violence to come near; 4 Who lie on beds of ivory, Stretch out on your couches, Eat lambs from the flock And calves from the midst of the stall; 5 Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments, And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David; 6 Who drink wine from bowls, And anoint yourselves with the best ointments, But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. 7 Therefore they shall now go captive as the first of the captives, And those who recline at banquets shall be removed. 8 The Lord God has sworn by Himself, The Lord God of hosts says: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, And hate his palaces; Therefore I will deliver up the city And all that is in it.” (Amos 6:1-8)<\/p>\n

8 “Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,
\nAnd I will destroy it from the face of the earth;
\nYet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
\nSays the Lord.<\/p>\n

9 “For surely I will command,
\nAnd will sift the house of Israel among all nations,
\nAs grain is sifted in a sieve;
\nYet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.
\n10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,
\nWho say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’ (Amos 9:8-10)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amos is giving a warning to those called by Jacob’s name (which was also Israel), whom according to Jacob himself, would seem to be a reference to the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48:16). In modern times, this would be the Anglo-Saxon nations such as Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and also the United States of America. The reference to trusting Mt. Samaria in Amos 6:1 could be a reference to trusting the USA to defend in the end (for more scriptures on this, please see Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a>). That will not end well for the USA or its allies of the Anglo-Saxon nations.<\/p>\n

Of course, few in those nations believe that they will be taken over and have such calamity. But that will come to pass. Most would not listen to Amos then, and most, sadly, will not listen to Amos now.<\/p>\n
